After a stellar start to his rookie season, former Purdue star and Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey is heading to NBA All-Star Week for the Rising Stars Game.
Zach Edey's statistics are trending downward. Here are some reasons why, and how they figure into the Memphis Grizzlies' plans.
Despite winning two Naismith Player of the Year awards in his final two seasons with the Purdue Boilermakers, the media was very skeptical as to whether Zach Edey would translate to the next level. Even with averaging 23.
Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 28 points, Zach Edey added 19 points and four blocks and the Memphis Grizzlies won their sixth straight by beating the Utah Jazz 125-103.
GG Jackson on Ja Morant's hops: “I’ll compare it to when you see Mario jump and there’s that little poof of an air cloud under him. Swear to God, sometimes you see a little poof of a cloud under Ja. Every day in practice, like the past two training camps I’ve been part of, it’s something new. Like, every single day.”
The Memphis Grizzlies will have plenty of representation at NBA All-Star weekend next month.
Eight of the 10 players on this week’s Ladder were chosen to compete in the Castrol Rising Stars event at All-Star Weekend. The other two in the official rookies pool have made multiple appearances here: Philadelphia’s Jared McCain (injured) and the Lakers’ Dalton Knecht.
Taylor Jenkins cannot wait for GG Jackson to be at full strength as the Grizzlies try to muscle up the Western Conference standings.
